Kanye West has been announced the victor in his lawsuit against the creators of the digital currency called Coinye.

On July 22, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sided with West over several defendants, including 50 Jane and John Does, who created a Bitcoin parody with West’s unauthorized likeness and name attached.

“Defendants have cowardly sought to remain anonymous by using Registry privacy services and other means to shield their identities,” the amended lawsuit read. “The expedited discovery ordered by the Court, however, has allowed Plaintiffs to ascertain the identities of many of the previous Doe Defendants.”
